This course is a joint-project, co-ordinated across the four schools responsible for the Multi-Media (Design) program. The project will be identified by the course co-ordinators and jointly assessed. The project will be a full time commitment for those enrolled in it during the semester.

The work delivered can include on-going tasks in programming, multi-media design, project management, film or animation. It can be project based or as part of an on-going team/company activities.

The business focus of the work-integrated learning will include: - developing a marketing strategy for a commercial outcome; - work with an existing team to achieve the agreed targets on time, to the agreed standard and on budget. - consideration to intellectual property issues - developing and managing the project - how effectively the project is communicated to its intended audience (through use of multi-media tools and clarity of a structured verbal presentation).
